By Lee Youkyung SEOUL/BERLIN, Sept. 1 (Yonhap) -- A wireless computing device known as a tablet PC is expected to take center stage of this year's IFA show as global tech giants are poised to showcase a slew of Android-based products, aiming to steal the iPad's thunder. Tech heavyweight Samsung Electronics Co. is set to use Europe's biggest consumer electronics show, slated for Berlin on Sept. 3-8, as an opportunity to unveil the Galaxy Tab, a 7-inch touchscreen gadget powered by Google Inc.'s mobile operating system.

The president of Samsung's mobile business division, Shin Jong-kyun, who is scheduled to make a rare visit to the six-day trade show, will present the new device on Thursday.
